The All Progressive Congress (APC) has officially communicated its felicitations to the Nigerian music sensation Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, after she clinched a top international award in the United States.
The Nigerian singer won the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th edition of Grammy Awards with her song titled Love Me Jeje, beating competition from compatriots like Davido, Asake and Wizkid.

The album of the award-winning track, Born in the Wild, released in 2024, was also shortlisted for the highly competitive category of Best Global Music Album but the prize eventually went to Matt B and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for Alkebulan II.
In 2024, Tems became the first non-mixed Nigerian to lay hands on the highly prestigious prize after her track with Canadian singer Drake won the Best Melodic Rap Performance.
Previous winners with ancestry traceable to Nigeria, Sade Adu who won the Best New Artist category in 1986 and Cynthia Erivo, who bagged ‘Best Theatre Album’ in 2017, were British Nigerians.
Tems dedicated the award to her mother and God as she became the second winner of the category. Last year, the prize was taken home by South African sonorous singer Tyla, who carted the category with her melodious Water track.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), APC wrote:
